boii_utils

Developer Utility Library with Bridges and Common UI Elements

Overview

Welcome to boii_utils — your new favorite excuse to never write boilerplate code again.

This all-in-one, modular, feature-stuffed utility library is built specifically for FiveM script developers who are tired of reinventing the wheel every time they touch a new resource.

In v2.0, everything’s been rewritten from the ground up:

The bloat? Gone.
The bugs? Squashed.
The logic? Rewired with duct tape and ambition.
The license? MIT, because freedom tastes better without GPL breath.

What you’re getting now is a cleaner, faster, actually organized toolkit designed to make your life easier and your codebase prettier. Use just what you need, ignore the rest, and regain a little sanity.

Why use `boii_utils`?

Simplifies Scripting: Functions that just work, without needing a 12-tab Stack Overflow deep dive.
Prebuilt Systems: Fully modular. Plug in, power up, and pretend you built it from scratch.
Reduces Dev Load: Spend less time writing boilerplate and more time watching your players ignore your server rules.

Highlights

Framework & UI Bridges: Making peace treaties between frameworks since inception.

Framework Bridge: boii, esx, nd, ox, qb, qbx because commitment issues are real.
Notification Bridge: default, boii, esx, okok, ox, qb every flavour of annoying popup you could desire.
DrawText Bridge: default, boii, esx, okok, ox, qb for when you really need to make your players read something.

Standalone Systems: Because frameworks shouldn’t hold all the power.

Callbacks: For when you're tired of yelling into the void; now it yells back, politely.
Commands: Database-backed permissions included, or switch to Ace if you insist on complicating things.
Licences: Comprehensive license system including theory tests, practical tests, points management, and revoking, like your local DMV, minus the soul-crushing lines.
XP: Level-up system with growth factors and max levels, because who doesn't love arbitrary numbers going up?

Unique Scripting Modules: Pre-made shortcuts for the lazy genius in all of us.

Characters Module: Enough functions to build character creators, clothing stores, tattoos, everything you need to keep your players staring at themselves for hours.
Vehicles Module: If it drives and you can customize it, these functions probably have you covered.

UI Elements: The obligatory flashy bits to trick players into thinking you know what you're doing.

Action Menu: Bored of spinning circles deciding what to click next? Try out a different take.
Context Menu: Simple and effective, with header images.
Dialogue: NPC conversations without the awkward silence.
DrawText: Display on screen text clearly, ensuring players ignore it even faster.
Notify: Notification styles for all occasions: success, error, info, warning, primary, secondary, light, dark, critical, neutral.
Progress Bar: The classic, comforting sight of incremental loading bars.
Progress Circle: Revolutionary innovation.. it's like a progress bar, but circular!
